Get Yo Remix On: Double “Tatali”

It has not been easy to single out one song for our next remix contest… as a matter of fact, it’s been so difficult we’ve decided to change the way we do things: from now on we might have multiple remix contests at the same time. Why? Or why not? Up until now we’ve tried to keep the contests spaced out in time, to make sure each and everyone gets the full attention it deserves. But in recent months we’ve been contacted regularly by producers asking us to share acapellas and stems with them. Every week we still send out the Azingele and Miss Doctor vocals. So why keep the faucet trickling when evidently there is a musical tsunami out there begging to be unleashed?

Without further a due, we present to you: Double, aka Pee Kay & Nana Yaw, who are most known for their last hit: Walai Talai:

Here’s the latest banger, with an acapella we think you might just go bonkers with. Oh and we give you the original 320 mp3 while we’re at it, spread this ish!!!!

Where My Money Dey?!

Rehashing the most recent Lungu Lungu column over at Fader:

If you spend a few days in Ghana, you’ll hear mostly upbeat dance music. On the radio, at bars or in clubs. It might lead you to believe that all popular music in Ghana is music to dance to. At least I thought so. But a couple of weeks ago I had a realization. Not one induced by the many churches sprouting on every corner here. This realization was purely musical—I went to a big show, featuring a dozen or so artists, many of the usual top dogs, but also, some rappers. Nothing that unusual so far, except the hundreds of kids around me went CRAZY when the rappers got on stage, rapping along to every single hook and verse. Hip hop is massive in Ghana, but it’s still very much underground. Kids may know the words to the songs, but the songs still don’t play on the radio.

So how do you get people to know your song without being played on the radio in Ghana? I’m not here to write a full analysis, so let’s just say there is a lot of MP3 swapping over bluetooth phones, and there are a LOT of ciphers and battles among high school students.

Hip hop in English started in Ghana around 1990, until the mid 1990s when Reggie Rockstone started rapping in twi. Fast forward again to Wanlov and Lil Shaker, who pioneered Ghanaian pidgin rap in the mid 2000s. What I find exciting about pidgin rap is that it can be understood by a broad English speaking audience, but it retains a distinctly Ghanaian feel. Best of both worlds.

Enter Kay-Ara. He only graduated from high school two years ago, but he’s been rhyming as far as he can remember. First listening to his older brother’s Nas or Tupac tapes. then switching over to Reggie Rockstone and other twi rappers. Finally, inspired by pidgin rappers, he began laying down verses daily. Now he performs along with Wanlov and Shaker them. Tomorrow, he heads to Koforidua for a show with Yaa Pono and Wanlov. You won’t hear Yaa Pono on the radio much, but his freestyle videos have been going around a lot.

Kay-Ara f. Lil Shaker and Yaa Pono, “Me Dough” by The FADER

“Me Dough” is the first single off of Kay-Ara’s upcoming debut album. The chorus goes me ko gye me dough, or I’m going to get my money in twi. Kay-Ara tells me: “When I heard the beat, with the Ambolley highlife sample and the big bassline, I thought, Ok, people will dance to this.” Then he adds, “so let’s add a message that everyone can relate to and remember.” Kay says the song is not just about money but about respect, as much about collecting your money as it is collecting your dues. Kay-Ara also recently dropped a mixtape, featuring mostly original tracks. Download it here.

What do you think? If you like this stuff, I’m thinking of putting together a compilation of pidgin rap, and some pidgin rap EPs and full lengths after that. Got beats? Holler at me!

Lungu Lungu: New Akwaaba Column for Fader Magazine

In case you missed the first installment of our new Lungu Lungu column over at Fader Mag, here’s the second piece, this time about one of our current favorites down here in Ghana, Shadow, the one man operation that is literally lifting the entire Buduburam Liberia Refugee Camp, and bringing Liberia’s sounds to Ghanaians, and now to you, worldwide! Grab his sick gbema track “Killing Me”: gbema is a traditional rhythm, which Shadow has successfully carried into the Fruity Loop age. Think Shangaan electro, but this time a weeee bit more musical. Shadow you are the MAN!!!!

And in case you miss it, the first freebie we shared with Fader, a lil’ sumfin from the FOKN Bois, which gave its name to the column:

Music is our business…

Throughout the months of October and November this year, the international workshop program “Buzz Meets Biz” is taking place in Germany, Spain, and Ghana, bringing together young music professionals from the mentioned nations plus the UK. Not only active artists but also promoters, bloggers, label owners, and other professionals in the musical field are involved, covering all kinds of modern genres. Through networking, sharing knowledge and experiences, and participating in educative workshops, these young creatives will be inspired and taught to take confident and smart steps in the tough world of show biz.

PART 3 – ACCRA, GHANA

November 18 – 30, 2017

The third and last part of the mobility program will take place here in Accra. Complementing the two past workshop series on the economic issues of music, this session will focus on music itself. Creativity process, production, performance and an insight into the Ghanaian music scene will all contribute to the grand finale of this international project.

The mobility program is organized in cooperation of Akwaaba Music, Music Pool Berlin, iRights, Fundación SGAE, Cooperación Española, Goethe-Institut and the Alliance Française Accra. The programme is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and Goethe-Institut Ghana.

Spreading Mamã Africana: take this instrumental!!

Batida and Akwaaba invite you to take this beat further, sticking to the original concept: the song Lá Vai María is about Mamã Africana, both Africa and the African mother. So we just ask that you stick to the theme: write a song about your own María, about mothers, about Africa, write with a strong social or political touch, and keep it personal.

Then Batida and Akwaaba will together pick some tracks, perhaps releasing them as an EP, an album, or individual free downloads… it all depends on what we see coming through. You can download the instrumental for the next month. After that, much like the original Mamã Africana EP, it will go away…

Jali – Free “Combination” Remix by Dabö

Interestingly, just as Steve Pile comes back from Gambia, where he heard the Combination remixes blasting daily on the radio (“Almost everyday they’d play 2 tracks after BBC news cast”), we received a very interesting new remix of the song by a certain Dabö, which we obviously can’t add to the existing release, so we all agreed we should just give it out for free. So here it is:

Just A Band: Kudish! The Sound of Soup

Straight from Just A Band‘s website:

From the first time we ever went on stage (in August 2008 – nerve-wracking!) for live performances and/or DJ-sets, we’ve always prepared some remixes of our own songs (and other Kenyan songs we like) to play before we start or after we finish. We’ve never released any of those remixes until today!

We’ve been asked many times to put those mashups and remixes together, so after Daniel unleashed a particularly fun set at the Kudishnyao street party, we figured we should put them together. Here’s “Kudish! The Sound of Soup”, available as a free download courtesy of Bandcamp (which is the coolest music platform we’ve ever worked with). It’s a collection of music we wish we could hear on radio. Grab it and play it loud, and most of all – tell us what you think! 😀
